how forums work

[Corbin]

ok some of u have no idea what this is... i'll try to explain it.

A forum i like a chat room. Except u dont respond right away. Its like a chat room at e-mail speed. Something u check everyday to see how ppl are doing or w/e. Its soo much easier than going to like 10 different xangas a day to leave pointless comments. Here u just type in about ur day or w/e the hell u want. Ramble on about anything. U'll get used to it.

if u register (which all of u should) u can edit profile and where it says avatar URL.. just go to ur pic from ur xanga pic thats usually in the top left of people's xangas and right-click it, go to properties, and copy the URL and put it in the avatar spot. Somehow u can also post pictures in posts. Just explore and learn how to use it.

[Corbin]

any questions just ask here or ask me online on aim.

[Corbin]

o, and if u dont like the avatar i chose for u, just tell me or find out how to change it urself. i've just been using ur xanga ones.

[Corbin]

Ok this is my whole anology about forums. This is a chat i copy/pasted from me and jayne. kinda long but u dont have to read the whole thing.

hangebur: haha, that is about as much as i spend on xanga a day
hangebur: i love xanga though, i cant give that up
hangebur: you could make money, like the google guys, they are like milliionaires now
hangebur: what do the stars mean?
C sk8 soReR 69: stars mean how many posts u have

hangebur: and lauras like up there too
C sk8 soReR 69: im litterally one step under god on that site
hangebur: haha, youre biased
C sk8 soReR 69: i gave her moderater so i can have one moderator... and obviously i trust her the most
C sk8 soReR 69: and i gave my friend chris 2nd moderater
C sk8 soReR 69: i know ppl cant give up xanga
C sk8 soReR 69: but think if this went far
C sk8 soReR 69: what if many many many ppl knew about it
C sk8 soReR 69: we could sell homework answers
C sk8 soReR 69: like someone from each class finished HW first and everyone copies from this site
hangebur: sweet
C sk8 soReR 69: its like an underground site nobody could know about cept kids
C sk8 soReR 69: and talk about everything
hangebur: i would be all over that
hangebur: free answers?, im psyched
hangebur: ya, thats a great vision
hangebur: im messing, but it really is a cool site
C sk8 soReR 69: but i mean think of it... say we went to johns one night
C sk8 soReR 69: had a blast
C sk8 soReR 69: ppl post about it on their xangas
C sk8 soReR 69: like the same nuts on every xanga
C sk8 soReR 69: its annoying
C sk8 soReR 69: how about one person starts it
C sk8 soReR 69: and everyone replies to it
C sk8 soReR 69: its like all the comments at one plave
C sk8 soReR 69: place
hangebur: yup
hangebur: its cool
C sk8 soReR 69: instead of repeats and pointless comment that say ..yo havent talked to u in awhile
hangebur: and xangas can be more personal
hangebur: ya
C sk8 soReR 69: yeah xangas are way too personal
C sk8 soReR 69: its all about that person
C sk8 soReR 69: i rather have everyone joined in
C sk8 soReR 69: i mean u can post personal stuff on the forums
C sk8 soReR 69: but.. xangas its like typeing ur life in there... like talking to urself
C sk8 soReR 69: seems weird
C sk8 soReR 69: but too many ppl use xanga and Myspace that it wont ever end
hangebur: of course
hangebur: cause they rock
C sk8 soReR 69: we just need ppl to help start this new thing
hangebur: you dnt like tem?
C sk8 soReR 69: i dont liek xanga much
C sk8 soReR 69: only thing i like about it is ....
hangebur: aww, i do
hangebur: haha
C sk8 soReR 69: everyone makes their personal page and colors and interests on their own site
C sk8 soReR 69: how about u keep that
C sk8 soReR 69: and on the forums u can put 'Web Site URL'
C sk8 soReR 69: and put that ur xanga site
C sk8 soReR 69: and so ppl can learn about u
C sk8 soReR 69: but all the posting and comments could be on forums
C sk8 soReR 69: so nobody has to visit a billion xanga pages in a day
C sk8 soReR 69: its too time consuming
hangebur: haha
hangebur: i know about the time consuming part!
hangebur: i probably spend like 3 hours on it a day
hangebur: how ridiculous is that?
hangebur: and aim, aim is pretty bad too
hangebur: you just cant stop
C sk8 soReR 69: i like aim just b/c its fast and easy
C sk8 soReR 69: like a phone
hangebur: ya
hangebur: but free
C sk8 soReR 69: theres no wait to reading what the person has to say
hangebur: i can talk to my brother in australia and not worry about calling cards and stuff
hangebur: but at the same time, you dont know how the person is saying it, so you could interpret their words the wrong way
C sk8 soReR 69: ya
C sk8 soReR 69: o and post would actually stay on subject
C sk8 soReR 69: instead of being like... hey u commented at my xanga so i wanted to comment back
C sk8 soReR 69: has nothing to do with what the person said
hangebur: woa, you really really thought this through, didnt you?
C sk8 soReR 69: mhmm
C sk8 soReR 69: u have 2 xangas?
C sk8 soReR 69: oops
